Just before Christmas, the former CEO of Iceland’s Glitnir bank and two other senior bankers were sentenced to jail terms of up to five years for market manipulation and breach of fiduciary duties.

This brings the total number of senior Icelandic bankers so far sentenced for crimes in the run-up to the 2008 banking crash to 29.

By contrast not a single senior banking executive in the US or the UK has been jailed for their role in the financial crisis.

Whilst banks - such as the five found to be rigging the Libor rate - have been hit with substantial fines, the individual bankers behind the fraud, market rigging and irresponsible lending that led to the economic meltdown have all avoided time behind bars.

WAIT A MINUTE -- ISN'T THE PRIME MINISTER OF ICELAND "ONE OF THEM?"

The obvious question is whether the Prime Minister of Iceland was responsible for going after the bankers or was just another "one of them."

Read what the Guardian had to say about this on October 6, 2013, after Gunnlaugsson was elected:

A new mood of proud nationalism is emerging in economically resurgent Iceland after an out-of-control banking system sank the country into financial meltdown exactly five years ago.

Riding this wave of confidence is 38-year-old prime minister, Sigmundur Davíd Gunnlaugsson, elected in April on populist promises of mortgage relief for every homeowner.

Gunnlaugsson earned his spurs in years of outspoken campaigning against the foreign creditors who still haunt Iceland, particularly the British and the Dutch governments, which intervened after the collapse of Landsbanki – the bank behind Icesave – on 7 October 2008....

While many other politicians in Iceland had urged a policy of appeasing the enraged British and Dutch governments, Gunnlaugsson had insisted they should go hang.

"Icelanders, as descendants of the Vikings, are highly individualistic and have difficulty putting up with authorities, let alone oppression," he said in one of his first speeches as prime minister on Iceland's Independence Day in June this year.

TAKING OUT ALL THE CABAL'S TOP ENEMIES

Gunnlaugsson was the most effective enemy of the Cabal in the visible media world -- and he just went down in flames. One day. Boom. Gone.

The problem is that the world of finance and politics is so dirty that no one gets out clean. Everyone is compromised, no matter how heroic they may be.

Corruption is so deeply woven into the system that you are simply never going to find anyone, Alliance or otherwise, who doesn't have problems.

A single, uninformed "yes" in the course of a day with 250 decisions to be made could ruin an entire administration.

The Goldman-Sonnenfeldt Foundation – they don’t have a website, but their President does. He’s a “philanthropist and entrepeneur”. In case you’re wondering…yes, that is “Goldman” as in “Goldman Sachs”.

As the shock from the initial revelation of leaked Mossack Fonseca files fades away, one recurring question has emerged: why were there no American clients of the firm named (at least not yet)?

After all, leaders in Iceland, Russia, Ukraine, Brazil, Australia and many other nations are already facing questions about their use of the Panamanian law firm, and yet nothing about the US?

...As Eoin Higgins points out, the 2010 United States—Panama Trade Promotion Agreement included a taxation clause that effectively shut down any chance of the rich in the US using Panama as a shelter....

According to Higgins, "if Panama had ever been an attractive destination for American offshore storage of funds, this agreement shut the door on that possibility."

SO WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON HERE?

Believe me, it is frustrating to be one of the only media outlets reporting on the insider war between the Alliance and the Cabal.

Veterans Today is doing a bang-up job of it, as is Benjamin Fulford. Corey Goode is a recent addition to the team and has released a great deal as well.

We know from multiple insiders, not just Corey's people, that the Alliance is very real -- and they have a massive series of "data dumps" ready to go.
